    Boris the Spider - John Entwistle
  
  From The Who's album "A Quick One" 
  
  Bass tabbed by beatle@dial.pipex.com
  
  
  
  Here, I have tabbed the bass line. The guitar chords follow the notes in the bass but 
  are played with no third. The chord which starts the second measure of each phrase is 
  strummed once using the complete chord. eg 
  
  The intro goes D5 Db5 C5 B5 Bb5 F5 / G
  
  OK here we go,

  Lyrics
  
  Look, he's crawling up my wall
  Black and hairy, very small
  Now he's up above my head
  Hanging by a little thread
  
  Boris the spider
  Boris the spider
  
  Now he's dropped on to the floor
  Heading for the bedroom door
  Maybe he's as scared as me
  Where's he gone now, I can't see
  
  Boris the spider
  Boris the spider
  
  Creepy, crawly
  Creepy, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  
  There he is wrapped in a ball
  Doesn't seem to move at all
  Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
  Pick this book up off the floor
  
  Boris the spider
  Boris the spider
  
  Creepy, crawly
  Creepy, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
  
  He's come to a sticky end
  Don't think he will ever mend
  Never more will he crawl 'round
  He's embedded in the ground
  
  Boris the spider
  Boris the spider
